Chapter 1354: Side Story: Having the Whole World in View (31)
Qi Wenjin only felt that his face was burning red. When he returned home, his heart felt like it was on fire. At this moment, he was no longer in the mood to beat around the bush with the Lu family, secretly suppressing the eldest branch while secret supporting the fourth branch.
The previous clan head, Old Master Lu, had a total of three legitimate sons—the eldest, second, and fourth child. Only the second son was worthy of his attention. However, the son he was proudest of was crippled by bandits in his prime, and his wife also died after giving birth to a foolish grandson. It was a huge blow to him.
Therefore, he had long separated the family assets among his sons, but they continued to share the same residence. The brothers still lived together whether in their hometown in Shanyin or in the capital.
Therefore, there were always minor conflicts between them.
Fourth Master Lu wasn’t a fool. When he saw the things in the study, he knew that someone was targeting his big brother. As a member of the Lu family, although he was tempted by the position of clan head, he knew the severity of the matter and didn’t rashly make a move.
If the other party wanted to deal with the main branch, it was naturally fine. However, if they wanted to deal with the entire Lu family, that would make them his enemy, too.
However, Fourth Master Lu quickly realized that someone was secretly helping him. On the other hand, Eldest Master Lu seemed to be restrained in every way. When he thought of the things that was sent to his study desk, he immediately understood everything.
Someone was standing up for his second brother.
And in this world, the only person who still cared about his second brother was naturally his good niece. Based on the way Prince Rong was supporting Lu Deyin even before they were officially married, it seemed that Prince Rong was indeed highly fond of his niece.
Since it was his niece who made a move, Fourth Master Lu had nothing to worry about.
The Lu family was not only his Lu family, but also Lu Deyin and Lu Jiashu’s Lu family, as well as his second brother’s Lu family. Hence, he dared to guarantee that his niece would not destroy the Lu family. At most, she would avenge her father.
Fourth Master Lu immediately added fuel to the fire and even asked his wife to send two boxes of gifts to Lu Deyin to add to her dowry as a sign of cooperation.
